The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
FIRST Metro Securities Brokerage Corporation (FirstMetroSec) continues to strengthen its already robust digital trading ecosystem as it prepares investors for increasingly dynamic market conditions, reinforcing its long-term commitment to technology-driven investing.
As market participation grows and trading activity becomes more fast-paced, FirstMetroSec has continued to invest in platform enhancements that improve speed, visibility, and the overall trading experience.
Recent upgrades such as Trade from Charts and the Historical Portfolio View reflect this direction, giving investors clearer insights and greater control over their investment decisions.
Building on these enhancements, the launch of Active Trader marks the latest step in the company’s ongoing digital transformation.
Designed as a more responsive and intuitive trading interface, it provides investors with a streamlined, real-time workspace that brings together market data, charts, and execution tools in one integrated view.
The interface is built to support more active participation in the stock market, allowing users to respond more efficiently to market movements while maintaining clarity and ease of use.
Through its chart-first layout and real-time market information, Active Trader enables investors to better monitor price action, assess liquidity, and execute trades with greater confidence, particularly during periods of heightened market activity.
“As we begin another year, we remain optimistic about the Philippine stock market. Periods of volatility often create opportunities for disciplined, guided, and well-prepared investors,” said Mhelvin Abajon, President of FirstMetroSec. “Our role is to ensure clients are equipped with reliable, easy-to-use tools that allow them to participate confidently and responsibly.”
Active Trader forms part of the FirstMetroSec PRO platform, which offers advanced trading features for investors seeking deeper market engagement. These include conditional order capabilities that allow users to plan trades more systematically and incorporate risk management into their strategies.
“True to our promise, we continue to innovate and refine our platform to keep pace with how today’s investors trade,” Abajon added. “Active Trader is one concrete example of our broader commitment to digital readiness, ensuring our clients are prepared as markets become more active and opportunities emerge.”
Active Trader is now available to all FirstMetroSec PRO clients.
